Arusha to Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, we will pick you up from the hotel and start the safari from Arusha to Tarangire National Park.
Tarangire is well known for its huge elephant population and baobab trees. It forms the center of an annual migratory cycle that includes up to 3,000 elephants, 25,000 wildebeests, and 30,000 zebras. The park is most spectacular between June and October, the dry period. During this time, thousands of animals, like wildebeest, buffalo, and oryx, migrate from the dry Maasai steppe to the Tarangire River, looking for water. Lions, leopards, and other predators follow the herds. Tarangire is home to over 500 varieties of birds.
Have lunch, take a late afternoon game viewing, and in the evening, drive to your hotel for dinner and overnight.

You will have a brief stopover at the Ngorongoro Crater, where you will stop for 20 minutes at the gate and viewpoint for the breathtaking view.
You will visit a Maasai village (optional) and explore the culture of the great Maasai community. They are known for chasing lions of their kill and hunting lions to be considered a warrior, drinking raw animal blood.

The entrance fee is 10 - 20 USD.
